I am facing **intent not defined in domain** error when I am running `rasa shell`

```auto
rasa==1.6.1
rasa-sdk==1.6.1
rasa-x==0.24.1

```

When I do `rasa interactive` it does works well and all the intents are recognised properly. But when I run `rasa shell` I got following error:

```auto
Bot loaded. Type a message and press enter (use '/stop' to exit): 
Your input -> hi

  f"Interpreter parsed an intent '{intent}' "
Your input ->                                        

```

I have checked the domain and nlu files its all mentioned there.

```auto
# nlu.md
## intent:greet
- hey
- hello
- hi
- hi there
- hi pal!
- greetings
- hello robot
- good morning
- good evening
- good afternoon
- hello is anybody there
- hey there
- hola
- you there
- yo

```

and

```auto
# domain.yml

intents:
- affirm
- restaurant_search
- send_email
- greet
- goodbye
- stop
- information

entities:
- cuisine
- location
- price
- email

```

Can anyone help me where I am going wrong?

Hi @ankur-pandey7,

Do you get any warnings when validating the training data, by using this command?

```bash
rasa data validate

```

@ArjaanYes I tried doing that I have a warning,

```auto
UserWarning: The example 'Italian' was found in multiple intents: information, restaurant_search.

```

are you saying this could be a reason that its not able to identify the `greet` intent?

@ankur-pandey7,

That should be ok. I was trying to see if perhaps something was wrong with the `domain.yml`.

Do you get any messages during training about the `greet` intent?

Also, if you run it with the --debug option, do you see any additional messages that could provide a clue?

```bash
$ rasa shell --debug
```
